They have to choose between voting for and losing support or voting against and losing funding.
Anybody that votes:
- Yes the first time and yes now, has somewhat of a conscience
- No the first time and yes now, believes they need to drop Trump to have a chance next election.
- No the first time and no now, believes they need to support Trump to have a chance at the next election.
- Yes the first time and no now, fell asleep on the wrong button.
I mean its the house, over a hundred of em after having their lives threatened still said 'Yup, voter fraud!' last week.
I would be more interested in if there's a major shift in the opposite direction, that will be key for shit down the line since the fire hasn't really let up over the week...its arguably gotten worse with donors threatening to pull cash for those who voted pro-voter fraud last week

They say that in public, but behind the scenes...
I have zero faith but will allow myself to be surprised.

Lots of Rs gonna be sweating between not being on the record against impeachment for the sake of fundraising but also not wanting to make their constituents mad. Should be a fun time!
they cant vote with their conscience when they don't believe in science
House Whip use to mean something different back in the day

I mean, why would they bother? Dems have already confirmed they have enough votes to pass in the house, so it'd be useless for Republicans to try to create a monolith here. They know they'll lose and and are leaving it up to individuals to weigh "conscience", base support, and fund raising.
Liz Cheney is making a play for future of the House GOP, to be the leader of the anti-Trump GOP caucus.
On this vote I don't think it's going to matter much. You'll have 10-20 GOP House members to impeach if we're lucky. Comparatively, you had about, what, 120 house GOP members vote to overthrow the election?

^^^^ It's this. Leadership is just saying they aren't going to force the ones in more moderate/suburb districts to go down with S.S. Trump
A vote against Trump will tank their re-election hopes, in their minds. Let's see what is more important to them.
Wow, what a fascinating story.House Whip use to mean something different back in the day
Caning of Charles Sumner - Wikipedia
"Southerners mocked Sumner, claiming he was faking his injuries. They argued that the cane Brooks used was not heavy enough to inflict severe injuries. They also claimed that Brooks had not hit Sumner more than a few times, and had not hit him hard enough to cause serious health concerns. In fact, Sumner suffered head trauma that caused him chronic, debilitating pain for the rest of his life and symptoms consistent with what is now called traumatic brain injury and posttraumatic stress disorder."
As for the racist shitbird:
"Preston Brooks died unexpectedly from a violent bout of croup on January 27, 1857 at age 37, a few weeks before the March 4 start of the new congressional term. He was buried in Edgefield, South Carolina. The official telegram announcing his death stated "He died a horrid death, and suffered intensely. He endeavored to tear his own throat open to get breath."

A vote for Trump may tank their fundraising efforts.
They're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
McCarthy sucks so much, such an awful caucus leader even in comparison to the disasters that were Boehner and Ryan. Cheney will probably be even worse once McCarthy inevitably steps down after this Congress. I don't think we see more than a dozen or so votes in favor of the motion. It'll be a lot less than those who didn't object to the election results.
